Could be a faulty thermostat, but I would check that element is getting hot before commiting to replace the thermostat.
Run it for a few minutes and feel to see if you can feel hot air blowing from fan at rear of oven. If no heat present, thei it will be the elemnt that is faulty.
Testimonial: "Excellent advice! It was in fact the element which broke apart as soon as I touched it so bad was the corrosion. Had a new one fitted in an hour, though had to drill out a reluctant screw from the backplate. Also worth mentioning that after turning the oven on after it has been disconnected from the mains, only the top fan will work, nothing else. I was scratching my head till I realised you have to set the time as it sets to timer mode by default. "
